somewhere in the valley,
but remains unseen.

“The Eagle” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson [w/ Audio]
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

the black cat is a shadow --
devoid of depth.

Ride by Night [Kyōka]
a little bird,
on a bit of driftwood,
speeds downriver
in the dusky, fading light.
doesn’t it know it can fly?

Ducks Adrift [Haiku]
a pond in summer:
ducks look like wooden toys,
drifting leisurely.
